Yet another blockchain network is heading toward sunset after being acquired. This adds to a growing trend we've been seeing lately—major projects and platforms getting snapped up only to eventually wind down operations. It's a reminder that in the crypto space, acquisition doesn't always mean continued growth or expansion. Sometimes it signals the end of an independent journey. Worth keeping an eye on how this impacts the broader ecosystem and user migration.

Another chain declines after being acquired... This trick is all worn out, acquisition = death sentence, it's no longer a secret.

ngl, the acquisition → sunset pipeline is becoming way too predictable at this point. seen this pattern play out with tokenomics design too—acquire a protocol, strip it for parts, kill the governance primitives. makes you wonder about the real incentive structures at play here tbh

Another project has declined after being acquired. I'm tired of this routine; acquisition ≠ savior. Sometimes, it's actually the final stop of an independent journey.
